Privacy Policy

This is a convenience translation. The legally binding version is the German one.

1. Controller

The controller for data processing on this website is:

Lars Huismann, Huismann Marketing Solutions, Nalepastraße 216, 12459 Berlin, Germany. Email: info@huismannmarketingsolutions.com.

2. Hosting

This website is hosted by Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you open the pages, the host automatically collects server log files transmitted by your browser — in particular your IP address, date and time of access, file requested, referrer URL and browser identifier.

This data is technically required to deliver and secure the website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in secure, stable operation (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Log data is typically deleted automatically after a short period; exact retention depends on Cloudflare settings.

Processing by Cloudflare is governed by a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR based on the Cloudflare Data Processing Addendum (DPA). Transfers to the USA rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (adequacy decision) and/or Standard Contractual Clauses.

3. Contact form

If you use the contact form, I process the details you provide (name, email address and message) in order to handle and answer your inquiry. Providing this data is voluntary; without it, however, your inquiry cannot be answered.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering your inquiry).

Technical transmission via a Google Apps Script in our Google Workspace; inquiries are delivered by email and additionally stored in an access-restricted spreadsheet within our Google Workspace account. Data is processed by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) under the Google Workspace data processing terms. Transfers to Google LLC (USA) may occur; Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Your details are not used for advertising and are deleted no later than 24 months after your inquiry is handled unless statutory retention obligations (e.g. tax records) apply.

4. Fonts

This website uses only locally hosted fonts. No fonts are loaded from external services such as Google Fonts, so no connection to third-party font servers is established on page load.

5. Cookies, localStorage & tracking

Essential technologies: We do not set tracking cookies without your consent. Strictly necessary processing (hosting logs, TLS, form submission) does not require consent.

Device storage: We store your cookie decision in the browser (localStorage key: cookie-consent-v1); this storage is required to implement your choice (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG). If you actively pick a display option (light/dark theme, reduced motion), we also store that choice locally (keys: te-theme, te-motion-preference) — as part of the function you explicitly requested, likewise exempt from consent under § 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG. Nothing is stored without an active choice. This data stays on your device until you delete it in the browser.

Analytics & marketing: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The script (gtag.js) from googletagmanager.com loads only after your explicit consent to the “Analytics” category. We use Google Consent Mode v2 (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization). Without consent, no analytics or marketing cookies are set and no usage profiles are created.

Cookie/storage overview: (1) cookie-consent-v1 — purpose: store your consent — duration: until withdrawal/deletion — provider: Huismann Marketing Solutions (localStorage). (2) te-theme / te-motion-preference — purpose: display preferences — duration: until deleted in the browser — category: strictly necessary (stored only on active choice) — provider: Huismann Marketing Solutions (localStorage).

Data processed includes page views, approximate origin, device/browser type and interactions — typically pseudonymized; IP addresses are anonymized (anonymize_ip).
